Pep Guardiola is the main reason why everyone is frighten when facing Manchester City on the pitch. Everyone started thinking of the EPL as farmer's league, it means zero competition in the league following the consecutive winnings and domination of one particular elite team. Manchester City keep the trends rising in all standard but this season is quite different. They fumbled, other elite team that kept close range on the EPL title didn't hesitate to take their chances and they're infront.
Man City dominance in the EPL for the past few years has finally collapsed after several key players suffered injuries, as a result they have difficulty maintaining balance and now have to raise the white flag in the trophy hunt. What Man City experienced is very difficult to happen in Ligue 1, even though PSG performance has declined, they still became champions at the end of the season.
Unlike the EPL, there are still many other strong teams ready to take over the first position. This season Liverpool is at the forefront of the title race, while Arsenal is still very far from expectations.
